Hi,
I am currently working voluntarily at a company. The company is not great place to work but they have promised to file for my H1 in april 06. I do not want to work for this co. in the long run but I do want to apply through them in april so that I don't miss out on the quota (i missed last year by 2 days!)
my question is that if I get a job at another company either while the processing for this company's H1 is ongoing or is completed, but after the visa quota is over then what are my options.
1. Can I apply for H1 through the new company before october 06? (since my first filing would have locked in my number in the quota)?
2. or do I have to wait till October and work for this co. before I can apply thru another co?
Please advise. I want to plan my job search based on what the answer would be.
